I could care less about having that. Both will have the new A5 processor and 1GB of RAM. As long as it is faster than my 3G, I could care less about anything else.
It'll definitely be faster. A marked improvement over the 3G. Heck, my iPhone 4 is tons faster than my gf's 3G.

You can find a standard black screeen for around $40. I changed two this weekend.

two things the new iPhone will need to compete;

* a larger screen. To Apples surprise, people are actually using the "smartphone" features of this device (mainly, surfing the internet)... and the screen is not quite large enough. People don't want to pinch-zoom all the time.

* cross platform funcationality. Flash support (among other features) should come with the purchase of the device (no add-ons or 3rd party additions needed).. Apple needs to ditch the "niche market" mindset, when it comes to cross platform functionality. The whole world doesn't evolve around Apples lead - when it comes to smartphones. They need to quest for functionality outside of their companies compound.

Adobe has finally figured out how to deliver Flash video to Apple’s iOS devices, including iPhone and iPad. The company announced on Friday the release of Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, which makes it possible for content providers to use Flash to deliver video streams to many platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, and more.

We should note right at the top that Adobe is not announcing (or delivering) Flash support on iOS devices. Apple has chosen not to support Flash on its mobile devices, citing a variety of issues centered around performance and battery life. Instead, Apple supports HTTP Live Streaming, which is what YouTube and other video streaming sites use to deliver their content to iPhones and iPads.

What Adobe has done with Flash Media Server 4.5 is add in support for HTTP Live Streaming so that content providers can use the software to deliver their video streams in whatever form the user’s device supports. If a Mac or PC with Flash installed calls up the video stream, it will automatically be delivered via Flash. If an iOS device calls up the video stream, Adobe’s software will deliver it via HTTP Live Streaming, all without the content provider having to worry their pretty little heads about it.

This is significant for Adobe, because it removes a reason for its customers to leave Flash behind entirely as the needs of iOS device owners increasingly dictate online standards. The company has simultaneously increased the relevancy of Flash, but has done so in a way that keeps the burden of supporting the technology on the server side.

Please note (again) that this is not the same thing as “Flash on your iPhone.” Today’s announcement has nothing to do with playing Flash games on your iOS device or viewing other interactive Flash content. It is instead about delivering streaming video in a format that is already supported by iOS.

Tim, I thought Adobe announced they had developed a Flash server that would work with the IOS operating system? Meaning more or less Apple had won the battle and soon Adobe would be conforming to work with Apple products?

real question is... will Apple include it; or will the end user need to download some third-party file?

Majority of smartphone owners don't want to have to add functions after-the-fact for fear they will download a virus, or just screw up the device (possibly voiding the warranty.
